Fetching User Data & Making Requests Examples for OpenSocial & PHP Fetching Profiles Fetching and Inserting Updates Fetching Connections Making AJAX Requests

Collecting User Data With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 $session = YahooSession:: requireSession ($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session-> getSessionedUser (); $profile = $user-> getProfile (); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- var req = opensocial.newDataRequest() ; var params = {}; params[ opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS ] = [ opensocial.Person.Field.NAME , opensocial.Person.Field.THUMBNAIL_URL ]; req.add(req. newFetchPersonRequest ('VIEWER', params), 'viewer_profile'); req.send(response);

Fetching Updates With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8

Getting Updates With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 $session = YahooSession:: requireSession ($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session-> getSessionedUser (); $updates = $user-> getUpdates (); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- var req = opensocial.newDataRequest(); var spec = new opensocial.IdSpec (); spec.setField (opensocial.IdSpec.Field.USER_ID, opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.OWNER); req.add(req. newFetchActivitiesRequest (spec), 'ownerActivities'); req.send(handleActivities);

Inserting Updates With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 $session = YahooSession:: requireSession ($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session-> getSessionedUser (); $update = $user-> insertUpdate ($suid, $title, $link, $description); --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- var params = {}, activity; params[ opensocial.Activity.Field.TITLE ] = title; params[ opensocial.Activity.Field.BODY ] = body; activity = opensocial.newActivity (params); opensocial.requestCreateActivity ( activity, opensocial.CreateActivityPriority.LOW, callback);

Fetching Connections With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8

Fetching Connections With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 $session = YahooSession::requireSession($key, $secret, $app_id) $user = $session->getSessionedUser(); $connections = $user->getConnections(); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- var idspec = opensocial.newIdSpec ({ 'userId' : 'OWNER', 'groupId' : 'FRIENDS' }); var req = opensocial.newDataRequest(); req.add( req.newFetchPersonRequest ('OWNER'), 'get_owner'); req.add( req.newFetchPeopleRequest (idspec), 'get_friends'); req.send(responseFriends);

Making YQL Requests With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 $application = new YahooApplication ($key, $secret); $results = $application-> query ( ‘ select * from delicious.feeds.popular’);

Making YQL Requests With PHP & OpenSocial 0.8 var params = {}; var url = ' http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=select%20*%20from%20flickr.photos.search%20where%20text%3D%22Times%20Square%22 ' var callback = callbackFunc; params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.TEXT ; params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET ; gadgets.io.makeRequest (url, callback, params);

“Plug-ins” implicitly enhance experience

An evolution, not a revolution We always looked for developers to build features that were a natural fit This semantic shift represents enhancements to the invocation point, not radical changes in the functionality e.g. contextually launch “Share Attachments” e.g. invoke Picnik contextually OnCompose e.g. detect an invitation and gently suggest upgrade to Evite
